Function in Play
- The largest surviving Mithraic temple in London.
- Managed by “Pater Thomas” — actually Roger de Camden operating from the Shadowlands through mortal and ghoul intermediaries.
- The house serves as a meeting place for the most senior surviving cult cell.
- Six separate Mithraic cells operated in London at the turn of the 20th century; this is the headquarters.
- In 1969, the cult is diminished but functional — perhaps 20-30 mortal cultists and 2-3 Kindred who remember the old ways.
Physical Read
- A grand Victorian house in Richmond’s affluent streets. Immaculate gardens.
- The basement contains a small mithraeum — low-ceilinged stone chamber, bull-slaying relief, benches for 40 worshippers, and an altar stained with centuries of blood that no amount of cleaning removes.
